Make: Online : DIY Plasma globe

DIY Plasma globe

Do it yourslef plasma globe. The circuit in my homemade unit has driven a homemade globe quite well. It has also driven a store-bought globe extremely well. Add to the list Neon bulbs (I get trails in candle-flicker bulbs and calculator displays.), florescent tubes, Xenon flash tubes, and even normal light bulbs, etc. [via] PDF Link.
